Chapter 660
After giving her advice, Madilyn suddenly asked, “So? Was I right? Is Lucian really pursuing you?”
Shocked by her best friend’s exaggerated tone, Roxanne froze for a few seconds before returning to her senses.
She smiled nonchalantly. “I have no idea what he is thinking. Maybe he’s trying to get close to me because Estella
likes me more.”
Regardless, Madilyn figured her guess was not too far from the truth. She gave Roxanne a serious glance. “I’m
serious. You should try giving the relationship a go. Just take it as a chance to make up for all the regrets from six
years ago.”
At that, Roxanne fell into deep thought. Finally, she forced a smile and said, “All right. Thank you.”
Madilyn got up and hugged her. “You know you can come to me whenever you have something troubling you, right?

Don’t keep it to yourself.”
Roxanne assented with a smile.
Madilyn knew Roxanne needed more time to think about it. Thus, she stopped talking and remained quiet in her
seat while waiting for the latter to finish her breakfast.
After breakfast, they played with Archie and Benny for the entire day. Madilyn did not leave until the sun had set
completely.
Before going to bed, the boys asked Roxanne with concern, “Mommy, are we going to the concert tomorrow?”
She nodded in response.
Only then did the boys feel much at ease and shut their eyes obediently.
Once they were asleep, Roxanne got up and returned to her room. As she lay on the bed, her head was filled with
Madilyn’s words from that morning. At the same time, memories of Lucian’s recent actions replayed in her mind.
All that made her feel confused and conflicted, causing her to take a long time to fall asleep.

Perhaps she was so troubled that she woke up rather early the next morning.
After lying in bed for a while, she prepared herself mentally and got out of bed to prepare breakfast for the
children.
While she was making breakfast, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Roxanne halted her movement. She had a rough idea of who was at the door, which was why she did not dare to
open it.
Even so, the doorbell kept ringing.
Awakened by the doorbell, the boys ambled out of their room, still half asleep. They thought
Roxanne was still sleeping, so they tiptoed down the stairs for fear of waking her up.
As soon as they arrived downstairs, they saw Roxanne standing in the kitchen.

“Mommy?” Archie and Benny exchanged puzzled glances, not understanding why she was not getting the door
when she was already up.
Snapping out of it, Roxanne met the boys’ confused gazes and forced a calm smile. “Go wash up. I’ll get the door.”
Hearing that, the boys returned to their room without giving it much thought.
Roxanne stood unmoving for a while. She calmed herself before striding to the door.
“Ms. Jarvis!”
The moment the door opened, Estella’s childish voice traveled into her ears.
Roxanne forced herself to look at the little girl first.
It was obvious that Estella had put effort into her appearance that day. Her long hair was tied up using a large white
ribbon with a bow knot, though there was a strand of hair that got caught in the knot. She was also dressed in a
white tutu skirt, which made her look like a little angel.
Estella looked up at Roxanne, grinning contently.
Meeting Estella’s gaze, Roxanne felt much better, as if she was relieved of all the stress she had been feeling.
